Untitled :Rosy Mirror
Georg Trakl 1887 (Salzburg) – 1914 (Kraków)
Rosy mirror: an ugly image
That appears in the black background,
Blood weeps from broken eyes
Blaspheming plays with dead snakes.
Snow runs through the staring shirt
Purple over the black face,
That breaks in heavy pieces
From planets, deceased and strange.
A spider appears in the black background
Lust, your countenance deceased and strange.
Blood runs through the staring shirt
Snow weeps from broken eyes.
